These Chocolate Chip Sourdough Bagels are the perfect combo of the cherished New York-style bagel's chewiness and the delightful chocolate chips, reminding you of your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes.
Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated with the wet ones, then increase to medium speed until a smooth, elastic bagel dough forms.
Cover the large mixing bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for the first rise, allowing the sourdough flavor to develop beautifully.
The first rise will take anywhere from 6 - 8 hours, depending on the temperature in your kitchen.
Transfer your bagel dough to a clean work surface. You may need a lightly floured surface if the dough is sticky, though it should be very sticky.
